Chapter 748 What a gentle killing knife, never walks alone
The sound of this thing is a bit loud.
The eyes of the people around him turned around.
Zhou Yutang touches his chin with his left thumb, bends his index finger, touches the bridge of his nose gently, and lowers his voice:
"Low down, rat."
"You want to keep a low profile, but your strength doesn't allow it."
Huang Bo on the other side poked his head out, grinning and showing his big white teeth.
It was rare that the Governor was not accompanied by a beautiful woman today, and he was surrounded by these two brothers singing together.
As a result of that Weibo post, the film schedule of "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" has almost miraculously begun to rise against the trend.
Domestic movie theaters all gave the governor enough face.
Tonight's award ceremony was quite lively. Zhou Yutang went to receive the Best Screenplay Award for "Detective Chinatown".
When I came back, I was talking to Ning Hao and Huang Bo in the audience, and awards were being awarded one after another on the stage.
Bai Baihe won the Best Actress Award for "Get Out, Cancer King", and Zhang Songwen's performance in "Manslaughter" was well-known and won the Best Actor Award.
Director Chen Jianbin's directorial debut "A Spoon" won the Grand Jury Prize, and Guan Miao's "Old Paoer" won the Organizing Committee Grand Prize.
"Master", a martial arts legend of the Republic of China directed by Xu Haofeng, won the Best Film Award.
The Best Director Award went to Chief Jia, who directed "Mountains and Rivers" directed by Hua Luo.
Zhou Yutang only attended the platform, not for the awards, but the Jiangdong team also gained a lot.
After the award ceremony was over, Section Chief Jia extended a warm invitation and took Zhou Yutang and Ning Hao to his group's dinner.
Since last year's "Old Friend in Mountains and Rivers", Section Chief Jia, whom we haven't seen for almost half a year, has done a lot of big things.
It’s not just Zhou Yutang who is promoting and supporting new directors. As early as 2010, Section Chief Jia launched the “Additional Wings Project” to also promote the growth of potential new directors in the industry.
In addition, he has been working hard for the Tianchao New Film Festival. Looking at his red face, it seems that he really has something to look forward to.
"Next year, next year at the latest, it will be in the ancient city of Pingyao. You and Director Ning must come then!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely support you."
Ning Hao was also surprised. Zhou Yutang quietly let go of Chief Jia's excitedly clenched hand.
During the dinner, it was mentioned that today the Governor responded with a hundred responses, and almost half of the entertainment industry supported "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix".
Including Chief Jia, as well as photographer Yu Li and producer Zhang Dong who have worked together for many years, everyone felt their blood was boiling and they were drinking.
Mainly, everyone is a practitioner, and they are all deeply involved in the field of literary and artistic films, so they know the specific situation.
As far as the country is concerned, there is basically no soil for the survival of literary and artistic genres in theaters.
"Mr. Zhou, you are free to do as you like, I must toast you today."
Section Chief Jia's partner, Wang Hong, raised his head and drank a ounce of white wine without hesitation.
As they exchanged cups, the distance between them invisibly narrowed. Jia Ke drank several glasses of white wine, his eyes blurred,
"I have been in this circle for almost 20 years. Working with my brothers to create warm culture is also a carefully considered attempt at transformation.
Mr. Zhou, Director Ning, please give me more guidance in the field of commercial films in the future.”
"Haha, you should ask Yu Tang for this. Who can do better than him in the entertainment industry?"
Thinking that Zhou Yutang was recovering from his illness, Ning Hao directly contracted his share of the wine.
The big gold chain fought fiercely with the heroes, and he threw another peanut into his mouth and pressed it a little.
"Don't dare give me advice, let's communicate more."
"Mr. Zhou, you are too humble. Let me toast you again."
The CEO of Nuanliu Culture Company is Wang Hong, who is very 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 can understand what Section Chief Jia thinks.
When making literary films, it was a one-off affair. In the past, you could sell foreign copyrights and the profits were pretty good.
But now the version has changed.
The Chinese film market is in full swing, and everyone is making a lot of money. Who wouldn't be jealous?
The business can be expanded to the commercial film track, and artistic pursuits can also be given way to money. There is really no need to struggle with money.
Even Lou Huohua, who has directed literary and artistic films such as "Suzhou River", "Spring Breeze Night", and "Massage", briefly put aside his favorite literary films and transitioned to take on a commercial film project.
The police and gangster movie "Hell Lovers", which was officially announced a few days ago, also stars Shu Qi, Jing Boran, and Ma Sibei. It is considered a luxurious lineup and has attracted a lot of attention.
However, while chatting with Section Chief Jia about company operations, Zhou Yutang suddenly heard an incompatible name,
"Li Yuchun?"
"Brother Chun also wants to be a director?"
Ning Hao was also dumbfounded.
"The script of the drama is still being revised, it may take two years"
Chief Jia's speech is a bit tongue-in-cheek.
It is said that good acting leads to directing. Since Zhou Yutang took this path, many actors including Xu Guangtou and Deng Chao have tried it.
Unexpectedly, even Li Yuchun, the owner of the C-position fruit, turned to Warm Current Culture and prepared to pick up the guide tube and start a big fight.
I have to say.
Brother Chun's thinking is indeed advanced enough, and his directorial debut is a domestically produced modern musical.
[Meeting Haidilao’s powerful alliance, Zhou Dudu Fan Binbin joins hands to stand up! 】
[The Governor’s attendance at the Beijing College Student Film Festival was extremely popular! 】
[The producer knelt down during the live broadcast, the governor stood up and shouted, and the big bosses all supported him! 】
[Director Wu Tianming's legacy work "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" is a counterattack on the film schedule! 】
Except for the charming Reuters stills of Damimi's "Three Lives Three Worlds" that were released and created a wave of presence.
The entertainment headlines on major portal websites, hot posts on forums, and hot searches on Weibo are all news related to Zhou Yutang.
After he published an article in support of "A Hundred Birds Worship the Phoenix", his influence continued to spread, and even Pei Kang and Ren Zhonglun made a special call.
The next day, certain adjustments were made to the current film schedule in the film market.
The film schedule of "Northwest 2" has not changed much. The one affected is "Captain America 3". The film schedule of this Marvel blockbuster has dropped by 10 points, and this part of the film schedule has been transferred to "A Hundred Birds".
The result is that "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" has a 12.2% film schedule, and the single-day box office suddenly increased to 28.8 million.
This box office data may not be much when the Chinese film market is taking off today, but in the field of domestic literary and artistic films, it is already an extremely astonishing figure, and it has also created another exaggerated domestic film box office counterattack increase of more than 100 times. Record.
There has never been any precedent for this.
Looking to 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.
Brother Chun wants to prove himself with a musical, but Li Cheng is more ambitious and will start a 200 million project directly.
Everyone wants to be a director, even Huang Bo is no exception.
In fact, he has long had the idea of becoming a director, and he also made a short film "The Undrunk Life of 2B Youth" in 2012.
A 2B young man got drunk at a KTV and 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, it shows all kinds of life in the small world of KTV.
One shot to the end, quite bold.
Ning Hao and Zhou Yutang had both seen it at the time and gave good reviews, but Huang Bo himself was of a steady and steady nature.
He doesn't have much confidence in directing a feature film, and as a top-tier celebrity, he has a tight schedule. There is a script that has been revised several times and has been delayed until now.
In recent days, Huang Bo has been particularly attentive to Jiangdong Building.
In addition to asking Ning Hao's opinion, he also wanted to hear Zhou Yutang's opinion.
After all, the Governor is famous for his unique vision and has helped raise the three generals of Jiangdong. Brother Bo also wants to make progress.
After reading the entire script, he still couldn't find any clues from Zhou Yutang's calm expression. Huang Bo gave up guessing and asked straight to the point: "Yu Tang, what do you think?"
Smoothing out the wrinkles in the script in front of him, Zhou Yutang had a smile on his face: "It feels quite interesting. I wish you smooth filming."
An ordinary employee of a company participated in team building with his colleagues, but ended up being stranded on a desert island after encountering huge waves at sea.
Breaking away from the original social order and civilized constraints, in order to survive, they behaved in ugly ways and had various absurd events.
In the end, the protagonist gained love through hard work and returned to the city with everyone saved.
The ending of the family reunion may not be too profound, but it is also interesting.
Some of the settings are somewhat similar to the high-quality American drama "Lost" that became popular abroad in the past few years, although the latter was unfinished. Nowadays, variety shows with the theme of desert island survival are not uncommon. The "Wild Survival" and "Single in the Wild" series, which Bilibili bought out the copyright, have a large audience in China.
"Then I'll lend you some good words."
When Huang Bo heard this, his eyes lit up like flashlights, and he grinned.
Even knowing that Zhou Yutang might be saying auspicious words gave him a shot in the arm.
When I left the Kodong Building, my steps were a little wandering, and my mind was filled with thoughts of my box office success.
He happened to meet Liu Shishi who was walking in the wind. Huang Bo said hello with a smile on his face: "Hey, Shi Shi, come to see Yu Tang?"
"Well, hello, Brother Bo."
Liu Shishi stopped, with a smile on his face.
They were all acquaintances, so we chatted briefly when we met.
After going up to the ninth floor without any obstruction, Liu Shishi was a little surprised when he told Zhou Yutang about it.
This time she came to report to Zhou Yutang on the two projects at hand, but she was not in a hurry. When she saw the meal, the first thing Liu Shishi thought of was to eat,
"I read online reports that the new pineapple-sour pork from Jiangdong Canteen seems to be very delicious. Let's eat this for lunch."
Half an hour later, Liu Shishi rubbed his belly and felt a little annoyed: "Oh, I shouldn't have eaten so much. Our company cafeteria is so delicious."
Girls always feel guilty after enjoying delicious food.
Especially in the entertainment industry, body management is a required course for female stars.
"It's okay, just eat this meal, it's not a big problem."
"Then let's have another cone." Liu Shishi suddenly became cheerful.
"..."
Zhou Yutang was speechless.
Girls seem to be born with two stomachs. Liu Shishi's eyes were shining as he took an ice cream from the dessert area.
First, he gently licked the cone, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face.
There was some ice cream on his lips, which made Zhou Yutang stare straight.
Perhaps because of the strange look in his eyes, Liu Shishi blushed and gave it to him. Not forgetting to share it, he handed the ice cream to Zhou Yutang with his delicate white hands.
Zhou Yutang was not polite, biting off half of it in one bite, and received a small pink punch from Liu Shishi.
Xiao Chen, who was also in the cafeteria, ate his fill of dog food, but Ni Ni turned a blind eye. She had long been used to this.
After feeling tired for a while, Zhou Yutang rested his pillow comfortably on Liu Shishi's thigh on the sofa bed in the office cubicle.
While enjoying her gentle massage, he was listening to her talk about trivial matters in her recent life and work.
Some time ago, Liu Shishi first carried the torch of the Rio Olympics, and then the Fashion Week, and had many foreign trips.
When I came back, I started working on the project preparations for "The Genius Gunslinger" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao". I also had to worry about the promotional platform for Tang Dynasty's upcoming TV series "The Legend of Sword and Cloud". I was extremely busy.
“I heard that the temperature difference there is quite big, so don’t forget to bring your coat”
"The ski resort is also good. You can give it a try after watching the competition."
Liu Shishi raised his hands and counted his upcoming overseas itinerary, 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 coach of the three armies, Zhou Yutang has decided to sit at the Saint-Jacob 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 disturbance. When I came back, Liu Shishi was in a very wrong mood.
A bowl of water must be level.
This time, several teachers from Yamashita Academy were giving Liu Tianxian the final special training before joining the team in the snow.
Zhou Yutang found an opportunity and took Liu Shishi to Europe to watch football and have a vacation in Switzerland.
A few days in advance, he had received a series of travel guides from Liu Shishi, such as "The 10 most worthwhile places to visit in Switzerland, are you excited?" and "The most beautiful small towns in Switzerland not to be missed."
At this time, the conversation was still interesting, and something suddenly occurred to him. Liu Shi stopped rubbing and pressing, and asked: "Do you think I am suitable to play Yang Yuhuan?"
"Should, maybe, maybe, it's okay..."
Zhou Yutang said insincerely.
"This is too forced."
Liu Shishi curled his lips, as if he was not satisfied with this answer.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, plumpness was regarded as beauty.
If it were to meet Zhou Yutang's expectations for Yang Yuhuan among the four beauties, he would vote for Teacher Fan and Liu Tianxian.
Liu Shishi's ranking is not high.
Zhou Yutang turned his head and lingered with his fingers on Liu Shishi's slender and flexible A4 waist: "Yang Yuhuan is not suitable, we can try Xi Shi."
With more than ten years of dancing skills, he is a gentle killing knife.
Although it can only hold a full hand, it is more beautiful in shape. It is expected that children in the future will not have to worry.
"You just know how to make me happy."
With a proud mouth, Liu Shishi took the initiative to kiss Zhou Yutang on the forehead.
"Poet Chen asked you to audition for "The Legend of the Demon Cat"?"
"How do you know?"
"You asked that, so it's just him."
Zhou Yutang smiled.
After winning the Academy Award this year, Liu Shishi's status can sit at the table of the top female stars in the industry.
Top resources must first connect with top stars.
It is not surprising that she was asked to audition for Poet Chen's new play "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
"Producer Chen came to see me."
Liu Shishi was quite calm, and continued to massage Zhou Yutang gently: "I also feel that I am not suitable."
"Pushed?"
"Well, I've already told Chen Hong."
Following Zhou Yutang over the years, Liu Shishi's vision and style have subtly expanded a lot.
As for "Legend of the Demon Cat", ever since the news was released, it has caused a bloody storm in the industry, and various female stars are at odds with each other.
But she didn't care about this magical resource at all, and she wouldn't feel it was a pity even if she gave up.
After all, the god in her eyes was lying on her lap.
"Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" has been scheduled for several consecutive days in theaters and has been supported by word-of-mouth. The box office has continued to rise against the trend, and the cumulative total box office has reached 102 million.
As the heat subsided, the film schedule also gradually came down.
Even if theaters provide support, it is not bottomless support.
After all, everyone is here to make money, and if they can arrange filming in a short period of time, that can be considered as their best effort.
Due to its literary and artistic themes, the upper limit of its box office potential is still a bit low after all. Maoyan’s estimate is 121 million.
As for "Beijing Meets Seattle: Love Letter", the total box office struggled to reach 927 million, and the single-day box office dropped to just over 3 million, which was also unsustainable.
On the eve of going abroad, Zhou Yutang did not forget to make work arrangements: "The publicity plan for "Xiu Chun Dao 2" can be advanced."
After the May Day holiday, it will be the summer holiday, which is only a few months apart.
The Koto private jet arrived in Basel, Switzerland.
The atmosphere of the Europa League final made the city gradually lively.
Fans can be seen everywhere near the St. Jakob Park stadium.
Red Army fans came from all directions, turning part of the stands at St. Jakob Park into a sea of crimson.
When the Liverpool team anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" resounded throughout the stadium.
Liu Shishi interlocked with Zhou Yutang from below.
She doesn’t understand football, but she also understands the lyrics.
Looking at the cold and solemn expression of the man next to me, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and hummed softly
