Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The gentleness of a man who has accomplished nothing is often the most useless.

But on the contrary.

A man with conditions like Zhou Yutang.

Sometimes a little vulnerability and gentleness is revealed just right.

It doesn't need to be too much.

Unless the woman is heartless, as long as she doesn't dislike it, she will not be able to resist it in eight or nine out of ten cases.

At least Liu Shishi's attitude has softened and eased a lot compared to before.

When a woman is soft-hearted in front of a man, it means retreat.

The next step is to slowly expand the fruits of victory through a series of subtle operations.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's CPU. Zhou Yutang's moral bottom line is not that high.

Liu Shishi is the woman he wants, and he has never thought of letting go.

This society is so realistic.

There is no absolute equality between men and women.

After the dinner, Zhou Yutang returned to the ward.

He slept on the bed all night.

He did nothing, just hugged Liu Shishi and talked.

It was just like the way the two people got along in the past.

Talking about the interesting things that happened when filming in America, the situation encountered in the operation of Xiaohongshu, the gossip in the circle and the prospects of the industry...

He was talking, and Liu Shishi was listening.

He fell asleep unknowingly.

The next morning, when she heard Ni Ni reporting to Zhou Yutang about the flight arrangements, Liu Shishi whispered,

"Are you...are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'll leave in the morning. Time is tight there."

The situation here is basically stable, so Zhou Yutang was relieved and continued to do what he should do.

People who meet will meet again.

This matter cannot be rushed, but can only be done slowly.

"Oh."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be back before Christmas."

Zhou Yutang reached out and gently pressed Liu Shishi's cheek.

It was much thinner.

Liu Shishi turned her head away and struggled to avoid him. When he put on his coat and went out, she couldn't help but say:

"Be careful on the road."

Sometimes, there are always some inexplicable thoughts in her mind.

When I saw a manhole cover on the road, I was worried about whether I would fall down; I saw the news of a plane crash not long ago, and I was worried about Zhou Yutang again.

In fact, Zhou Yutang's private plane will be regularly inspected and maintained.

Even the captain and the flight attendant will undergo regular physical and psychological tests.

There is definitely no safety problem.

Zhou Yutang paused slightly, smiled gently, and waved back.

Originally, he wanted to manage his time to the extreme and go to Hengdian.

The Magic City is not far from Hengdian.

He had painted a big pie for Nazha before, but he had to give up when he learned that Nazha went to Wuyi Mountain with the crew of "Fighter of the Destiny" to shoot.

This 24-hour global airborne operation can make the people around him exhausted.

Chen Duling has seen it.

Why are those who can achieve great things energetic and beyond ordinary people?

Every one of Zhou Yutang's assistant team was exhausted by the jet lag.

Ni Ni's dark circles could not be covered up even with makeup.

Chen Duling was not much better.

Yawning, but very awake, a little crazy.

Zhou Yutang himself was like nothing happened.

On the plane, he entered the rhythm of work.

Back to the crew, he continued to shoot "Joker" without stopping for a moment.

There were not many scenes left.

The entire crew members put in all their efforts and wanted to finish the filming before Christmas.

The domestic film market is quite lively.

The first half of the national service big director peak competition was settled, and Lao Mouzi's "The Buddha" finally had a box office of 593 million.

Although it failed to break the 600 million threshold, it suppressed Xiaogangpao's "I Am Not Madame Bovary" throughout the whole process, and the latter ended with 389 million.

The box office of the Japanese animation "Your Name" rushed to 700 million, and another big director became cannon fodder.

Er Dongsheng was handsome back then, and he also played the sword god Xie Xiaofeng in "The Sword of the Third Young Master" directed by Chu Yuan.

The sword energy spans 30,000 miles, and the sword light chills the 19 continents.

This work by Master Gu Long is also a classic in the hearts of countless martial arts fans.

Now Er Dongsheng personally took charge of this martial arts classic IP, invited Lin Gengxin to play the third young master, partnered with He Rundong's Yan Shisan, and Huo Siyan played Murong Qiudi.

Since its release at the beginning of the month, the box office has barely exceeded 100 million yuan, and the screening schedule has been almost zero, and many netizens have complained.

Zhang Mo's "28-Year-Old Minor" box office struggled to reach 133 million, which is higher than Er Dongsheng, but it is also difficult to sustain.

At this time, the eyes of the entire film and television industry are all focused on "The Great Wall".

"Brother Chen Kai and his wife Chen Hong, starring Matt Damon, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, Pedro Pascal, William Dafoe, Jing Tian, ​​Lu Han, Eddie Peng, Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, Wang Junkai and others attended the premiere in Beijing, and more than 200 Chinese and foreign media gathered at the scene!"

"La Peikang, chairman of China Film Group, gave a speech: "The Great Wall" will be a milestone blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States!"

Not only was the domestic film and television headlines occupied, but even Hollywood media also reported on it.

This Sino-US co-production blockbuster that was expected by the world finally came up after overwhelming publicity.

"The Great Wall" was released simultaneously in North America, and Zhou Yutang led the crew to work overtime.

Ni Ni and Chen Duling went to a cinema in New York to watch this movie.

In their words, the pictures are beautiful, which is Poet Chen's specialty.

Thousands of troops and horses fight against the Taotie, which is quite spectacular.

However, the gorgeous special effects can't hide the hollow plot and lackluster story, which reminds people of "The Promise" back then.

Lu Han's performance can only be said to be satisfactory, but he is just an embellishment. The one who carries the box office is Hollywood's top star Matt Damon.

Director Chen Da wanted to make a comeback with this movie, but after the movie was released, his dream was shattered overnight.

Domestic news came that the mainland box office revenue on the first day was 123 million.

For a movie of this size, it's a bit unsatisfactory.

This co-produced blockbuster cost nearly 1 billion including publicity and distribution costs!

If you want to recover all costs, you must develop both at home and abroad.

But according to the data on the first day, it is difficult to reach the sky.

They are all professionals in the industry. When a plate of dishes is brought to the table and you take the first bite, you actually know what it is.

"Yu Tang is right. Breaking into Hollywood has many objective constraints. It's not that easy..."

After browsing the film and television information, the Imperial Master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and called Pang Liwei:

"The casting matters should be implemented as soon as possible, preferably before the year."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

…

"Zhou, the data from North American theaters is only 5.88 million US dollars."

On the crew side, Bob Sr. acted as the entertainer and gloated: "Legendary and Universal are going to suffer a huge loss."

He now treats Zhou Yutang like a god.

As far as he knows, this film was originally directed by Zhou Yutang.

However, there was no agreement on various conditions such as the right to speak, and everyone broke up.

Now it seems that Zhou Yutang's judgment was indeed correct, and this project was a failure.

Zhou Yutang was not surprised by this.

Let Baipi save China, the story of this movie is simply unacceptable.

It is expected that domestic audiences are unwilling to buy it.

…

LeTV.

Boss Jia's office.

Boss Jia leaned back and sunk deeply into the large boss chair.

The expression on his face showed deep fatigue.

LeTV Pictures was unable to complete the injection and pressed the pause button on this major asset restructuring project.

Then another debt crisis broke out, and it was an open secret that LeTV’s capital chain was tight.

LeTV’s share price also plummeted like a waterfall.

The house leaked and it rained all night, and negative news broke about LeTV's unpaid debt at its automobile factory in America.

In just the past two months, LeTV’s market value has evaporated by tens of billions.

Boss Jia just came back from abroad this week, just for the premiere of "The Great Wall".

The subsequent hype releases are ready.

Is there anything better than a super film and television project, and a super film and television project that shocks both China and the world? Can there be more hype to increase the company's stock price?

Ideals are always beautiful, but reality is often so cold and ruthless.

Boss Jia was hit hard by reality again.

It is said that time comes and heaven and earth all agree, but heroes are not free when their fate is gone, it is nothing more than this.

The winter light has already passed through the heavy clouds.

It spilled into Boss Jia’s office from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.

It also sprinkled on Boss Jia’s plain face, creating some shadows...

…

Zhou Yutang began filming the final scene of "Joker".

Located on the steep steps connecting Anderson Avenue to Jerome Avenue

Passing through the simple apartment buildings is the only way Arthur must pass when he goes home every day.

This scene is also the highlight of the entire movie.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Namely, Arthur dancing wildly up the long steps.

Originally, Arthur walked up this long flight of stairs.

The shoulders are slumped and the back is hunched, as if being suppressed by this society and suffocating.

But when all kinds of oppression reached their extreme, the shackles on his mind were suddenly lifted, and Arthur officially became the "Joker" of Gotham City.

Once it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, it dances wildly and wantonly.

Dancing alone is indescribably amazing.

"OK, done!"

Several departments reported in an orderly manner and after checking the cameras, Zhou Yutang finally stood up and said the two words that everyone had been waiting for.

In fact, it just happened in a moment.

But it's very long.

For the entire crew, it seemed like the stone hanging in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.

After the tension, there was a sense of relief and relief, and I couldn't help but cheer.

"BOSS, I can't believe it's done."

Joaquin Phoenix, who was still wearing the Joker's iconic suit, excitedly gave him a strong hug.

"Relax."

Zhou Yutang patted Joaquin Phoenix on the shoulder: "There's something wrong with your recent state."

Many amazingly talented actors failed to come out after entering the role.

Joaquin Phoenix is ​​so immersed in the role of Arthur that even his usual laughter sounds a bit neurotic.

"I need a sun and beach vacation."

Joaquin Phoenix smiled.

"Zhou, you are this."

Old Bob also gave a thumbs up, expressing sincere admiration.

He has collaborated with many famous directors, each of whom has a different way of doing things.

Compared with those directors, Zhou Yutang is undoubtedly the most special one.

Before he shot the movie, he seemed to have already envisioned the specific scenes that would be presented in his mind.

During this period, countless detours were avoided, and the entire crew ran extremely smoothly.

From the time it was started, it took less than two months to finish the work.

"Lu, I like a young man like you."

Lu Yang was caught off guard by Bob, an old man, hugging him and giving him a kiss. He wiped his face vigorously, causing everyone in the crew to burst into laughter.

At this moment, the foreigners were all a little excited.

Christmas for foreigners is equivalent to Chinese New Year in China.

Being able to finish filming before the end of the year and being able to reunite with my family is naturally something to be happy about.

In the evening, Zhou Yutang booked a five-star hotel to celebrate the completion of filming for the entire crew.

The later stage of "Joker" was left in China, and Zhou Yutang took charge of it himself, so he was not in a hurry.

Bob has been doing logistical work for Zhou Yutang on the set, and he was very frustrated during this time.

After dragging him to the Victoria's Secret show, Lao Deng was like a mouse falling into a rice vat, his eyes were glowing green.

"Wow, I like this Brazilian girl. She's so hot. The one from Uruguay is also good..."

"..."

Zhou Yutang distanced himself from Lao Deng with an expressionless expression.

Having known each other for a long time, Zhou Yutang also figured out this old man's taste.

First, it must be a big thunder and a big butt drum. This is a rigid standard, appearance comes second.

Second, you must be young.

Perhaps these old men can only feel the lost youth and vitality in young girls.

"Zhou, are you really not going to stay here for a few more days?"

"There are some matters in the country that need to be dealt with. The public relations for "La La Land" will be left to you."

After all the fun, when it comes to business matters, Lao Deng still understands: "Okay, then we'll see you at the premiere of Tianchao next month."

The nominations for the 74th Golden Globe Awards were just announced a few days ago. "La La Land" received seven nominations, leading the way again after multiple award season awards.

Warner's distribution work and promotional offensive in North America have been fully launched.

The movie is scheduled to premiere on Christmas Day. As for the domestic premiere, it is expected to be released on Valentine's Day, so that it can cooperate with Oscar promotion.

As soon as Zhou Yutang landed at the Capital International Airport, he was caught by the media stationed there.

"The Great Wall directed by Chen Kaige has been quite controversial online. What do you think of the filming?"

"I heard that your "Joker" is a breakthrough English-language film. Do you have any plans to participate in film festivals?"

"President Zhou, congratulations to "La La Land" for being nominated for seven Golden Globe Awards. Are you confident about winning the award?"

The media came in waves, and there were many celebrity station ladies at the airport. Their eyes lit up when they saw the Governor.

With a whoop, I gave up my burden, and the wind and the remaining clouds came.

Professional filming equipment, passers-by holding their mobile phones high, crackling, never stopped.

Zhou Yutang has been filming abroad for the past two months and rarely appears in public.

Except in the middle of the month, someone photographed the Grand Governor parachuting into the Magic City.

There is also a detective in Little Lion. Based on the time when Liu Shishi was suddenly hospitalized, he deduced the shocking news that the first sister may be pregnant.

Although Liu Shishi's team quickly came forward to clarify, it was rare to catch the wild governor this time, and there was absolutely no reason to miss it.

“I’ve been very busy with work recently, and I haven’t watched Director Chen’s The Great Wall yet.

The film has just been completed, so we are working on post-production first. As for the film festival, we will decide based on the progress of the film.

Whether "La La Land" can win an award depends on luck..."

Zhou Yutang was in a good mood, accepted a series of interviews, and did not forget to promote his own movie.

"The sequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will premiere soon. I hope everyone can support it..."

In December, there was a chaotic battle in the National Director’s Peak Competition.

Since "The Great Wall" was released, La Pei Kang has already said that he will set a milestone for Sino-US co-production of blockbusters.

Since Wanda acquired Legendary Pictures, it will naturally take more care of the film schedule. At the same time, Chen Er's "Romantic Demise" is destined to be a companion.

The entire movie market is completely dedicated to "The Great Wall"'s solo time.

In the TV screen market, it is the carnival of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

With the support of the two capital giants Jiangdong Entertainment and Penguin Film and Television, as well as the high-quality dramas of Noon Sunshine, it was originally broadcast in the weekly theater of Tomato Channel.

Naihe received a temporary notice from above to stop.

Because "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a tomb-robbing adventure TV series, the subject matter is somewhat sensitive.

The TV series version of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" follows the plot of the original work, and in terms of content, it does cross the line.

At that time, Tomato Channel and Goose Factory made the decision to broadcast on a purely online platform after a video conference with Zhou Yutang who was filming on the set.

A TV series with an investment of more than 5 million yuan per episode is the highest-level online drama production project.

Not being able to enjoy the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Tomato Channel was helpless, so it put up the new version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Guo Jingyu in advance.

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi, two young talents born in the 90s, share the stage, continuing the classic IP of Jin Yong's martial arts and gaining great popularity.

But in terms of discussion, it certainly cannot be compared with "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in which Jiangdong and Echang competed.

The super IP of the tomb robbery series + the fate of the two giants + the multi-channel promotion of Douyin short videos.

This made "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" only 24 hours after its launch, and the number of online views on both platforms exceeded 220 million.

Halfway through the plot, the number of views on the Internet is close to 1.8 billion!

Moreover, the score on Douban is as high as 8.6 points, and the dual-platform score of Bilibili and Tencent Video is as high as 9.7 points!

Whether it’s word-of-mouth or playback volume, it’s taking off on both fronts.

Since its broadcast, it has continued to top the popularity list of mainland film and television dramas, setting off a "gold-making" craze at the end of the year.

The plot is mostly faithful to the original, the characters are outstanding, the scenes and props are highly matched, and the discussion on the Internet is boiling.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death when I saw the tombs of boys and girls!"

"That general zongzi is too scary. I finally know why it is not broadcast on TV."

"It is perfectly restored. This is a real conscientious drama. The Grand Commander is awesome! Noon Sunshine is awesome!"

"I hope the movie can also maintain the quality of the previous work. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is awesome!"

Noon Sunshine's ability to steadily produce high-quality products has been unanimously recognized by the audience.

The platform's drama advertising data and the number of paid members have soared, and the main creative tomb-robbing trio has also reaped huge dividends.

Especially Dilraba, there were many people who questioned her originally.

After the TV series was broadcast and became a big hit, seeing Dilraba's business ability, the doubts of these black fans immediately disappeared, and then turned to unanimous praise.

Because of Dilraba's youthful and energetic image, new business and endorsements have been received.

Until the end of the TV series, now has more than 25 endorsements!

Reba and Nazha, now the two beauties from Northern Xinjiang, also known as the peerless twins, are shining in the entertainment industry at the same time!
